Demo will not play songs

[herbyb]

I got every update I could. I was able to upload an audio cd and play it back. I was unable to get a cd+g to work. I imported the files, put them in the play list(just like the audio cd) when i tried to play them, their time changed from 1:30 to 0:05 and counted down without playing.

It may be that your LG drive may not be able to read the CDG correctly even though it may be listed as capable. Not every drive will work with CDG format. Did you install the firmware update I found?

i tried but the program said it was incompatible. do i need to reinstall the demo after all the changes? or does it start fresh each time it is opened?

i may just wait until a friend of mine brings over his external plextor drive he uses for karaoke, then i can be fairly confident the problem isn't my cd device

No you don't need to re-install.
The Plextor should help determine where the problem is. As far as the changing time that is really strange. Have you looked at the files themselves in Windows Explorer? What size are they?

Downloaded and installed the latest demo just to make sure there wasn't a glitch crept in, and had no problem importing and playing.

I'd be tempted to uninstall and download a new demo just to make sure that we're not looking at a corrupted download, but it's looking more and more like the burner.

i uninstalled, found some problems, corrected them, reinstalled but it still doesn't work. here is what isee happening: the karaoke disc is read by the program, tracks and times are displayed but when i try to play a track the video screen opens and closes immediately;when i try to import tracks, the disc is read, the recording window opens and shows'initializing' then closes abrubtly and the track shows up on the list, but i know it was not recorded because i saw the way the audio cd worked and you could swee the transfer progress. the problem is probably in the cd device, i will wait until i have access to one i know works before i bother you again.

I think I can speak for all concerned when I say it's no bother.

Keep us posted.
